Dr. Brian Maloney grew up in rural Ohio, with parents who were “hard-working, salt of the earth people,” he says. They instilled in him an appreciation for giving back, which manifests itself in his involvement with the Atlanta Day Shelter and even through his early work in reconstructive surgery. “As I went through my residency,” he remembers, “I would rebuild faces from scratch after car accidents and gunshot wounds, taking bone from the rib and hips and skull.” Those years reconstructing every part of the face gave him an intimate understanding of the nuances of facial surgery and honed his skills.

“My best life philosophy is to live every day to the fullest. Tomorrow is promised to no one.”

Eventually, he began to focus on cosmetic surgery. He compares the two, saying, “With reconstructive surgery, we’re taking an abnormal feature and trying to make it look normal, with cosmetic surgery, we’re taking a normal feature and trying to enhance it.” And with each kind of surgery, Dr. Maloney says, he encountered overwhelming gratitude from his patients. “It’s neat to have patients writing letters to share how the surgery changed their lives.” maloneycenter.com

“Wow!” That’s the reaction most of Dr. Brian Maloney’s patients have after a procedure or treatment with him. “I have the best job in the world,” he says, remembering one young girl in particular. “She was very overweight. She came in and said, ‘If I can get my face more in line with my image, I feel that I can shed this weight.’ So even though she was a young girl, I wound up doing a facelift on her because of all the loose tissue she had. It was probably about eight years later that this skinny girl walked into my office - she had lost 250 pounds. It was just so exciting to see.”

Even Dr. Maloney’s own mother is an example of the unexpected benefits of his work. “My mom came in from rural Ohio, and I did the works on her. When she went home, my dad called me up and said, “What did you do to your mother? She’s running around here with more energy than I’ve seen in years!’ “That energy boost, Dr. Maloney says, comes from looking the mirror and feeling like your best. “That’s something I offer to people every single day.” he says.
